  • Similar story a US attorney I work with sends us photos of him and his kids gurning over dead animals. He's from Texas... I guess its a cultural thing like fox hunting but quite frankly that doesn't make it right
  • She didn't shoot it me and big rob did, then we shot her and I had a go mounting her but rob said she was not cold enough yet 8)

    What makes it right is that the animals need to be culled anyway to maintain a healthy population, the money paid for the privilege goes back into the parks that manage and protect them from the likes of desease and illegal poachers (Who are the ones responsible for the elephant and rhino that appear from time to time minus their ivory/horns) and the meat from the likes of giraffe and elephant goes to the locals whose crops have probably been decimated by the animals in the first place. For big game, the person does not just get let lose to shoot whatever they fancy, the animal is selected by the parks rangers weeks in advance. Like it or not, the hunting of such animals gives them worth and that is why most of them are still with us today and not banished to the mists of time.

    I don't personally agree with posing with the dead animal for photos, or at least sharing the photos.
  • Nothing wrong with hunting an animal that is abundant - deer hunting is common place in Scotland if only to control overpopulation, although no one I know who hunts has shown me photos or trophies. Hunting so-called 'big game' like giraffe however is disgusting - I've seen wild giraffe, there is absolutely no challenge in finding and killing one. It ought to be outlawed globally.

    Deer stalking is common place throughout the UK, from Kent to Scotland and everywhere between. Gotta say that every person I know into the sport is into their trophies and, since the camara phone, taking photos of themselves with what they've shot. Whether they choose to share it or not is another matter

  • That there is a product called a cheesecake by some people that doesn't have any cheese in it, but instead has a Gorgon's head of disgusting wiggly coconut shreds. There is no culinary disappointment to compare with being palmed of with the wrong sort of cheesecake.

    The heating instructions on ding-meals. Mrs Stig had a little curry tonight that claimed to need eight minutes in the microwave. Don't the cockwombles that make these undernourishing slime-pots realise that in my kitchen is a machine with double the power output of Sizewell B. If I cooked one of their little slop-sachets on full power for eight minutes I'd have a melted kitchen, smoke plumes rising and thousand feet in the air and an emergency meeting of Cobra on my hands. 3 mins absolute max. Always.

    I totally understand you. There's a difference between culling, managing the countryside etc and bragging about shooting antelope from a helicopter with a machine gun (yup, we got that photo) however. I say f*** their worth the c**** but the management of national parks is of course important.

    Africa is pretty big BTW. A balance can be struck... But giving gun blazing yahoos the satisfaction isn't the answer
  • Meeting someone in a pub and they've arrived first and already bought you a pint.
  • when the dickheads who buy a typical mid-life crisis car do dangerous overtaking/undertaking to save 5 seconds on their journey.
  • Ungrateful gits who moan when I arrive first and buy them a pint.

    It was a lovely lager.

    Like I said mate, I don't get the yanks and their ethics when it comes to hunting in the first place, let alone taking and sharing photos like the ones above!

    I also don't get people sharing the photos when they are so much against em, a discriptive rant woulda surficed

    Why not? Easy way of letting at the less close friends and family know that you're not getting fat over the next few months, you're pregnant.
  • Oh, and fraping a female friend by posting an ultrasound picture is very funny.

    As is posting an engagement announcement.
  • When your missus cuts her toenails in bed without clearing up the clippings.

    The letter "B"

    I'm fed up with it.
    There are thirteen clubs in the English leagues that begin with the letter "B".
    One in the Premier League; Seven in the Championship; Three in League One and Two in League Two.
    The large number of "B"s in our league plus Cardiff means Charlton is invariably not featuring towards the top of the fixture lists, match reports, results, etc. You always have to scroll down.
    It won't get better next year. Bournemouth will be replaced by Burnley and Blackpool by Bristol City. So they'll still be seven of the buggers!

    Just realised that this annoys me too!
  • The 176 from the strand back home to forest hill - having to listen to this absolute knob's phone conversation all the way home!!!! I want to throw him off the back of the top deck
